Consumer Empowerment: What DNA Reveals About Your Food
April 24, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$150 – $300
According to the organizers:
This is a 4 session course.
April 24, 25, 26 & 27 6-9pm
What’s in your food? Find out using DNA-based technologies. For the first time in history, the average consumer has access to this powerful technology.
In this hands-on lab class you will learn how to extract DNA from food using techniques such as DNA barcoding and PCR to determine if that goat cheese is really from goats, what’s really in a McDonalds’ Filet-O-Fish, and if that granola you had for breakfast is really non-GMO. We’ll also give you instructions on how to set up a home testing lab. No previous science experience needed! This class is all about empowering consumers to investigate what they eat.
